Information
Ecological parameter: resistance/resilience to droughts
Parameter group: life & body related parameters
Explanation:
The parameter provides information on different resistence or resilience strategies and adaptions of aquatic invertebrates within the various life stages to cope with droughts. The categories are partly based on Tachet et al. (2000).
